Our Darling Coco

Our darling Coco,

Coco was a poorly abandoned little girl when she came to us only 16 months ago. In a very short time Coco established herself and ruled the roost, she kept all her furry friends in place and made sure all humans did exactly what she wanted. The evening Coco arrived she hopped onto a chair at the dinner table waiting to be served her supper.

Coco from the start had advanced mvd disease which progressed into heart failure last October, she was under the care of a wonderful cardiologist who played every trick in the book as far as medication was concerned.

Coco's heart was so big it crushed her trachea and the struggle became too much for her. Coco loved her life and had the most amazing will and strength to live her life to the full.

Fighting to the end, this cruel disease got the better of her, on Friday we had to let her go.

Oh, I was hoping not to see this post. I'm so sorry. You said Coco's heart was so big it crushed her trachea - that's so sad, but also such a beautiful analogy for such a wonderful little girl with such a big heart. You have written such a heart-breakingly beautiful tribute to her.

I'm so sorry to read this. You have been through so much with this special little girl and your love for her will live on in your memories. You have written such a beautiful tribute to her. Rest in peace sweet Coco.

Our hearts are breaking for you Tania and Graham, Coco was so very precious, we have all become attached to her from your stories and wonderful photos. Coco was such a character, she changed all your lives, and brought so much happiness - and laughter at her antics! - and love.

It's cruel that she was taken from you too soon - that someone else had the pleasure of her younger, healthier years, and you were left to pick up the pieces as she got older and poorly.

This is hearbreaking, i feel so saddened for your loss, but glad that the short time you had coco, was the best ever for all of you, words cannot descibe the relationship with have with these amazing creatures, but everyone is unique, your tribute to coco was beautiful, but coco was so lucky to have such a wonderful family, to love her, god bless you sweet girl, Karen, Ruby and Sadie xxx

Coco sounds like she was a wonderful character who you enjoyed so very much. I'm sorry it's been such a short trip you've made with her, but I am SURE she had a wonderful life with you all. Thanks for giving her this last year.
